Which one of these is more proper? Is one more proper than the other? Are they interchangeable?
Thanks.

Magyar:I searched the vortaro for "Denmark" and I got back, "Danlando" and "Danio."There is a 3rd one: Danujo
Which one of these is more proper? Is one more proper than the other? Are they interchangeable?
Thanks.
Danujo and Danlando are correct, as per Zamenhof's Fundamento. Danio is not.
Danio is unofficial (-io as an ending for countries), but the "-io" ending is quite utilized as well to represent countries:
I.e.: Ĉinio, Germanio, Italio, Anglio, etc.

I don't know how good of a source it is (especially 23 years after publishing), but also my textbook mentions, that Danlando is the most common form. I think it's reasonable to conclude that at least between the two laŭfundamenta forms Danlando and Danujo the former is used more often than the latter.
